CBRL Kenyon Institute Jerusalem (KI)
KI accommodation continues closed at the current time.
The Kenyon Institute (KI) hostel re-opened its hostel in March 2022 after the lifting of most travel and health restrictions related to the global COVID-19 pandemic that had prevented hosting public events or receiving guests. In October 2023, the Institute closed again due to events on October 7 and continues closed to the public.
The KI dormitory has six rooms capable of hosting up to ten guests, available at affordable rates to members – 3 shared rooms, 2 singles and a room for a couple. We have two communal bathrooms, a dorm common room, laundry facilities and a common kitchen. Some rooms also have sinks.
The KI aims to provide a comfortable and secure facility for our residents capable of fostering a climate conducive to productive study, community building and leisure. Residents are expected to abide by a code of conduct when in residence.
